But he didn't.

Meaning..?

Meaning you should not claim that he did.

Do you often accuse people of lying on forums?

Not that it's any of your business particularly but my electrician is a family friend who is happy to test and certify my install.

Thanks for the "advice" as always bas

This will sound very negative but will the friendship survive if there is ever a disputed insurance claim as a result of an electrical fault from the ciruit you install.

Insurance companies sometimes will dispute a claim and then not pay out if the incident was caused by a fault not spotted by the tradesperson who tested and certified the installation. Instead they support the claimant in a legal case to recover the loss from the tradesman. Then it is up to you whether you persue that action against the tradesman or pay the repair bill from your own pocket.

Some insurance companies will not dispute the need to repair and will pay for repairs to be completed without delay. Then the insurance company will look into recovering the money. If there is a tradesman whose error or ommission led to the incident happening then the insurance company will make every effort to get the money from him of his liability insurance.

For this reason tradesmen are not going to sign off work that they have not had total control over.

I appreciate that, but that's why he is checking every connection at the end of the job. He will see the entire first fix and I'm sure will have no problem with telling me to redo sections.

He said he usually gets a labourer to pull up floorboards, cut boxes into walls and run cables through voids.... I don't really see the difference with me being an unpaid labourer?

Dear god you are hard-of-thinking, aren't you.

Where did I accuse you of lying?

I said you made a post in which you "quoted" PrenticeBoyofDerry as saying things he had not, and asked you to take more care.

You did do that, and you should take more care.

Not that it's any of your business particularly but my electrician is a family friend who is happy to test and certify my install.

What on earth has that got to do with you claiming PrenticeBoyofDerry said things he didn't?

You're welcome.
